Camellia x williamsii 'Hari Withers'

Common Name: Camellia 'Hari Withers'

Description: Camellia x williamsii 'Hari Withers' is an evergreen shrub distinguished by its large, medium-pink double blooms that emerge from late winter to early spring. The dark green, glossy foliage provides an elegant backdrop to the vibrant flowers. In Melbourne's climate, this camellia thrives in sheltered locations with partial shade, avoiding direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf and flower scorch. It prefers well-drained, acidic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, as camellias are sensitive to drought. Applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring supports healthy growth. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth. 'Hari Withers' is versatile in the landscape, suitable as a feature plant, for hedging, screening, or container planting.
